One of my pet rats could speak, and he revealed to me the secrets of life, the universe, and everything. 

When I woke up, I remembered none of it.

A jaw dropping tornado producing supercell with incredible storm structure formed today (17 June, 2023) across the Oklahoma Panhandle into Oklahoma City, USA. Spotted one tornado wrapped in rain near Balko and amazingly a gustnado near Orienta that produced a rear inflow jet. Something I had never come across before.

🐰🎤Windy: By the way, appreciate for your creator’s past desktop device to share as well. We’ll do miss it to any older generation from previous years.

*laughs maniacally*

going from the reddit star wars fandom to the tumblr star wars fandom is giving me insane whiplash. the upside is that people aren’t bitching about every single imperfect detail in the entire franchise, but the downside is that i’ve seen more fanart of obi wan and commander cody tenderly knowing each other than i have ever wanted to in my life in the last three hours and it has probably fundamentally altered the way i interact with the entire franchise

Kids Room Remodel: Day 3 (4?)

It's 3 am. I just finished painting the second bedroom and Haydens closet is still pink because I ran out of paint

We had some stuff come up today that was unexpected so I didn't start painting till 10 PM.

Ive just about run out of everything. By the end of taping off the second room I used scotch tape for the tarp on the floor. it was rough

Now I'm going to go take some Tums for this heartburn and go to bed before I get no sleep tonight 😅😂

I am so fucking tired of the ice-cold takes about therapy-speak and assholes using it.

Are there assholes using therapy talk to justify their shit? Yes.

Does this mean therapy talk shouldn’t be used, ever? NO, OBVIOUSLY NOT

But of the too-many rancid takes I have seen of this shit all of ONE was not written in a blatantly ableist tone.

Therapy is not the problem. Therapy is, in fact, the solution to a lot of problems! The problem is assholes appropriating a tool that helps disabled people! This is the “anti-wrinkle straw” shit all over again!

You’re allowed to be mad about this shit, obviously, but if you’re gonna make a take on it, I am begging you to put some thought into whether the point you’re actually making is “assholes are appropriating a useful tool and need to be stopped” or “anything that helps people is bad“. Not what point you intend to make, the point you are actually making. Let it sit in drafts a few days. Read it aloud. Ask a friend! You’ve got this.

I was in a movie theater with my family, watching Across The Spiderverse, but a bunch of polar bears suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started attacking everyone, and the world was sent into an apocalypse because there were murderous polar bears everywhere.

By Spencer Dant : Sprites are a "new" phenomenon. Into the mid-1990s sprites were thought to be a myth. Modern technology lets us see them in high resolution. Last night, a severe storm in Tulsa produced huge sprites every 2-3 minutes visible from Texas #stormhour 6.17.2023 - Pampa, TX

Profiles of Pride: June 17th! 🏳️‍🌈Sister Mary Elizabeth Clark🏳️‍🌈

Sister Mary Elizabeth Clark (born 1938, in Pontiac, Michigan) is the main mover of the AIDS Education and Global Information System database, previously a pre-World Wide Web bulletin board system.

Clark was born in June 1938 in Pontiac, Michigan and assigned male at birth.

In 1957, she enlisted in the United States Navy and rose to the rank of chief petty officer (E-7), serving as an instructor in anti-submarine warfare. Clark had an 11-year marriage which produced a son, but ended acrimoniously.

She married again, and later revealed her gender dysphoria to her second wife, who helped her through self-identifying as female. Upon learning of her psychological evaluations, the Navy discharged her honorably. In 1975 she underwent a sex reassignment surgery and took the name Joanna Michelle Clark.

A U.S. Army Reserves recruiter who was aware that she was transgender enlisted her as a woman in the Army in 1976. A year and a half later, she was nominated for promotion to warrant officer. Her enlistment was voided when her transgender status became known to higher-ups. She brought suit against the Army and won a settlement of $25,000 and an honorable discharge.

During the 1970s, she was an activist for the rights of transsexual people and was instrumental in winning the right of Californians to have their gender changed on their birth certificates and driver licenses. In 1980, she founded and led the ACLU Transsexual Rights Committee.

She had been raised Southern Baptist, but left the church due to disillusionment with racism in its congregations. In the 1980s, she felt a religious calling and worked to become an Episcopal sister. Conflict with the Episcopal diocese over the validity of the order she sought to found led to her leaving the denomination shortly after she took her vows in 1988, and she later became a sister of the American Catholic Church, a small independent Christian denomination following Catholic rites.

Also in the 1980s she continued the work of the Erickson Educational Foundation, aiding transgender people.

In 1990, inspired by meeting an isolated young man with AIDS in rural Missouri, she returned to her family home in San Juan Capistrano, California, taking on the bulletin board system AEGIS begun by Jamie Jemison and eventually building it into the "most definitive – and perhaps the most accessible – source of information on" AIDS.

She is the recipient of the Award of Courage from the American Foundation for AIDS Research, the Jonathan Mann Award for Health and Human Rights from the International Association of Physicians in AIDS Care, the Crystal Heart award from the San Diego GLBT Center and the Joan of Arc award from the Orange County Community Foundation.
